Salt: 2010 - The CIA in the movies

Woman agent . . . female CIA agents are a bit thin on the ground in films, and
Angelina Jolie takes the prize for Salt - not least because the
screenplay was originally written for Tom Cruise to play the lead. While
critics found the plot poor, Jolie’s performance as both a CIA and potential
Russian sleeper agent was celebrated. We give her extra points for dying her
hair with spider venom.
